`They Would Die To End Their Pain!' Pennsylvania Banker Howls
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

October 3, 2007
When would a banker beg, ``Let us die to end our pain''?
On October 2, 2007, Daniel J. Reisteter, Vice-President of the Pennsylvania Bankers' Ass'n, uttered a wild-eyed screech of pain, in reaction to the surging support for the draft Federal legislation in defense of the nation's imperiled householders and bankers. Reisteter's outburst (``You peeked!'') suggests, that he ought to calm himself by reflecting on Robert Burns' celebrated reference to the case of a louse on the bonnet of a woman in church: Mr. Reisteter should see himself as others see him, and, then, perhaps, the pain of fearing that others might discover his true self, would go away....

The Anatomy of Russian Capitalism, by Stanislav M. Menshikov
March 23, 2007
—EIR News Service announced the publication of
The Anatomy of Russian Capitalism,
by Professor Stanislav M. Menshikov.

Translated from the Russian by Rachel Douglas, the book is an authoritative study of the Russian economy during the first 15 years after the break-up of the Soviet Union. The Preface, by EIR founder and contributing editor Lyndon LaRouche, titled, "Russia's Next Step," poses the need for U.S. policy-makers to study and grasp the "disease" presented in this book, since it represents "an economic global pandemic which we must all join to defeat."

Feature

'They Would Die To End Their Pain!':
Pennsylvania Banker Howls

Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. responds to a banker's hysterical reaction to the support for LaRouche's 'Homeowner and Bank Protection Act of 2007.' Instead of a fanatical adherence to the axiomatic rules of today's economic practice, the survival of the economy depends upon both a radical overturn of the currently accepted rules of economic behavior, which are the cause of the problem, and a return to the principles of constitutional law employed by President Franklin Roosevelt.

Science

On Vernadsky's Space:
More on the Calculus

Lyndon LaRouche resumes his discussion with a LaRouche Youth Movement team researching Carl Gauss's method. These thoughts were provoked by Vladimir I. Vernadsky's work on spacetime, and draw the team's attention to a still deeper epistemological implication of the same subject-matter. How was the appearance of spherical boundedness generated for the mind of man? Does that appearance not imply that a quality of 'sphericalness' bounds the universe? If so, does something else, of a still higher epistemological authority, bound that apparently spherical quality of boundedness?
